[BUGS] Dovecot not starting on startup

[Jerahmy Pocott]

Hello,

A few times now I'v had this server reboot (for unknown reasons likely  
involving someone pulling its plug out) and dovecot has failed to  
start on reboot. Manually starting it using the rc.d script and it  
runs fine, no error messages. I have dovecot_enable="YES" in the /etc/ 
rc.conf, so I had a look at the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot script and  
noticed the following:

# PROVIDE: dovecot
# REQUIRE: LOGIN ntpdate
# KEYWORD: shutdown

It requires ntpdate? Does this mean I need to have run ntpdate prior  
to starting it? I no longer use ntpdate because ntpd provides the same  
function for initially setting the time and then maintains it and  
ntpdate is now depreciated. I'm not used to this new rc script  
format.. The whole script used to be in these files =p

Thanks for any light that can be shed on this for me!
Jerahmy.
